Here we are on the last day of another amazing season for YES, and the snow is falling in the village again as I write. Crazy considering we were all sunbathing in 23C last Saturday! Today is also the final day of our BASI course for this year, and we look forward to their successful […]
What have you been doing to ready for the ski season? Well, the YES Crew has been working hard in the gym to get ski-fit. Nearing the end of our 12 week intensive program run by none other that our personal pain master, J.P. Fok, we are rounding into shape. Or was it round is a […]
The final day of YES NZ 2014 brought us blue skies and more good skiing. The Saddle was skiing great with good groomers on South Ridge and Saddleback. The snow was still skiing great in the gullies with soft snow brought in from the wind. The groups all had a great day getting in the […]
Tuesday brought about another bluebird day with warmer temperatures. Most groups took advantage of the great conditions and no crowds and headed staright to the Saddle Basin. The skiing was fantastic with great grooming on Rafills and South Ridge. The gullies were all skiing great as the groups challenged themselves in Superpipe, Mineshaft and Payback. […]

With Saturday being the change over day, the YES Crew had a day off. After waving good-bye to those leaving us this week, the YES Crew headed off in various directions. Some went golfing, some went to Queenstown. Others went vineyard-ing while others went for a run/walk/hike. Overall a relaxing day as we awaited the arrival […]
New Zealand brought out the sunshine for the last day of week one, but the wind remained fairly strong. Saddle was delayed in opening and the 6-pack had moments of wind hold. The skiing was great as the snow had blown in and settled in the gullies. After a warm-up down Main Street if was […]
The wind made a return to the slopes of Treble Cone today. With the Saddle chair on wind hold, the 6 pack was the only option. With the wind whipping straight up Main Street, the warm-up run was anything but warm. Visibility was off and on but the snow was in great shape. Lower Skite […]
The YES Crew awoke to a beautiful bluebird day and fresh snow on the slopes. Snow line was below the parking lot and the excitement was high for the day. That enthusiasm was slighty tempered as an electrical problem delayed the opening of the 6 pack. […]
The YES crew awoke to the sound of raining rattling off the roof. The good news was that there was 20cm of fresh and it was still snowing up at TC. The bad news was you couldn't see it. The chained up bus rolled into an empty parking lot with snow on the ground. The […]
